First Amendment Vs 14th Amendment

For the past thirty years or so public elementary and secondary schools have gone through transitions of what they can and can’t do to express themselves in schools. The first amendment was created in result of the Bill of rights on December, 15th 1791, along with the Constitution. The first amendment grants citizens five basic rights. The fourteenth amendment is one of two amendments that were created to give slaves and former slaves the rights as listed in the constitution. Together these two are civil rights that have limitations; or things that are in place to restrict. The first and fourteenth are often argued in schools over meaning and interpretation.
The first amendment clearly gave citizens five rights, the freedom of expression. The right to practice any religion, it made clear that the United

States has no set religion. The freedom of speech, which is the right to be able to verbally express how one or a group feels. The freedom of press, meaning anything that in the bounds are not disrespecting a group of people or violates any person; fellow citizen.

The right to assemble, meaning any peaceful protest, anything that can be violent or in a right necessary or proper is allowed, any group is allowed to meet and carry out what they believe. The freedom of petition is much like the right to assemble, meaning any group of people are allowed to write a request that repeals a request for any cause. There are many misunderstandings of the first amendment where people and things come up against it, and the Supreme court limits the extent of the first amendment, and feels like it can be interpreted by the courts as it pleases. The federal government will only recognize citizens rights to pull the first amendment only through congress. The Federal government doesn’t see it as a way to express. They also have misconstrues about the fourteenth amendment and if it is really necessary for due process and the clause of due process.A case much like Brown vs. the board was Hazelwood school district vs. kuhlmeier. It all started over the school sponsored newspaper that was written andeditited by the students. One particular time the

principal Robert C Reynolds the school principal received the pages proof for the May 13th issue found two of the Articles and the issues to be inappropriate and ordered that the pages which appeared withheld from publication. it was Cathy Kuhlmeier and two formal Hazelwood a students who brought the case to court.It was an 5 - 3 decision the Court held that the First Amendment did not require schools to promote particular types of student speech. The court agreed that schools have the right to be able to set high standards for what was and what wasn't appropriate, while the school refused to sponsor speech that was inconsistent with the shared values of the school.
Much like these cases I have had personal experience with limitations on freedom of speech in school, while it didn’t go past administration it shows just how much the school system may not value the freedom of expression. It isn't likely in these days to hear that students don’t have the rights to perform or created things as others would, because now teens especially aren’t into exploring their options, they just choose to follow the set of rules put in place, there are only minor things inside of schools that will be paid attention to.
